How's the fuel consumption like for you guys these days? Especially city drive? Mine goes as low as 7.5km/ sometimes 😓
*
u race on traffic light often?. or press 3k to 4k everytime?.

7.5km/L is really bad yo. if u lightfoot one, something wrong with ur car. if u heavy foot, then its maybe normal.

Nope, I'm a slow driver. The things is, I always reset the odometer each time I refuel. My usual driving is around PJ area (SS2, Sec 13/14/19/17, Uptown, DJ etc..). Too much stop n go. The km/l meter is always low if I drive around these areas

The other day I drove straight to Nilai from PJ, reset the odometer after refuel, managed to get 16.5 km/

In town driving fuel consumption quite poor it seems
*
on city, try drive optimum fuel efficiency speed which is 80kmh and see, if fc got improve or not. if not just suck the reality.lol.

ur highway fc, indicated it is nothing wrong with ur cars.

Dont think they do online bro. Thats why nowadays my modus operandi is to ask ori price first baru decide buy ori or aftermarket. Sometimes the difference not too much.

if difference not much, definitely I will buy ori.lol. but on shopee price gap quite significant😅.damn. lol.

seriously I need to go hingan one day.

This is a full overhaul on the engine. Cost around RM 5 to RM7k.

Wow. now, I really curious how many kilometre the car is. now my car is 260k km..only once change compressor. other than that. problem free. dunno how many tyres set already. cpc2 2x, xm2+, cc6, atm2.topkek.

QUOTE(Thrust @ Nov 5 2021, 03:31 PM)
Actually I am not so concern about the longevity of the engine. Honda's engine can easily last a very long time if it is well taken care (don't push hard and regular oil change and spark plugs).

The weakest link to me is the gearbox. Although the gearbox is considered durable by today's standard, the clutch packs will eventually wears out. Once it wears out, you will need to dismantle the gearbox to replace the clutch pack.
*
this gm2 really super duper reliable. as compare to my newer accord. so many problem wear and tear.

accord wear and tear really fast. I dont know, maybe expensive car more unreliable it is?. I still use original engine mounting at 260k km. while accord 2 times change already. topkek. power steering 2 times already.

hi guys, just curious. you guys still keep this baby as your one and only primary car? or you have another family car for family / trip and use this as a daily driver? or spare car?

for me, this is still my one and only car, family with 2 young kids. last road trip on June, make me realize, while i love this car in the city, (and i drive less, wfh anyway) and perhaps highway too, i may start to think bad about it for those kampung area trip.

just curious to see how's everyone's situation.

Maintaing your existing car is still cheaper than getting a new car.

Sometimes, if is a good idea to have a spare car in case another car get into an accident. Further more, City is damn cheap to maintain tongue.gif
*
Not my primary car anymore. Got few car ady. btw, this city almost perfect. Just one things I quite annoyed with it. Super sluggish response/power delivery. I think u all for sure experience it. If press accelerator, rpm really hard to climb. Maybe they engineer, set up gm2 gearbox like that.

If u use multiple car from different brand. Then u know what I trying to said. Its not regards to fast or slow, but its regards to terrible power delivery.

Got any solution on this?. or just live with it..

The City suspension, you only need to replace the lower arm, inner tie rod, tie rod end and stabilizer link.

Change all these will be as good as new... Excluding the shock absorber as that is another area.

QUOTE(cempedaklife @ Jan 2 2023, 02:23 PM)
VMag lor. Have to really convince myself to spend on a non problematic car lol. As I really can’t remember how well the ride is new, compare to now.

Most of the time I feel okay. Unless the road is terrible.
*
Change my lower arm before to third party. really regret. can feel every inch of road imperfect. next time will change into original honda back. I change lower arm and tie rod end, already feel like new car again. not yet change stabilizer link and etc.

Today I just replaced all 4 shock absorbers back to Showa...

Previously was using KYB Excel G and the feel is like riding a horse.

Now, the ride is much softer and comfortable.

Kayaba excel G really that terrible bro?. I interested with kayaba rs ultra. but now, read ur post, maybe better buy showa. still undecided.

My advise is still to original Showa if you want a more comfortable ride..

KYB really cannot bro... If RS Ultra, it is even stiffer.

Unless you like to whack the corner, then go for RS Ultra.. else, stay stock.
*
where u get ur showa?. from hingan pudu?.

like this maybe will stick with showa. another 1 brand I google is monroe. and seller said, it is comfortable but stiffer a bit. can trust this monroe?. price not bad. all 4 around 7hundred plus

Hi. I have a Honda City TMO (2009/2010) and experience quite bad oil leak. Bring my car to a workshop nearby to check and they said fix the top part first, drive for 2 weeks, bring back workshop to confirm still leaking elsewhere or not. Haven't fix it yet as I want to compare quotations. Below is the quote this workshop gave me. Can anyone advise if this is reasonable? Thanks in advance.

AR Man Autocare is expensive. At times, it is even more expensive than Honda SC. Best to avoid them now.

Few years back before covid, they are ok.

I hentam them on google review and since then, never read the review again. I know, they will be very defensive, when replying me.

go to die la, said specialist honda, but engine oil and oil filter more expensive than honda service centre. better go straight service centre bruh. in fact many other parts too, air filfer/spark plug, etc.

but, they got so many fans. majority is old honda who never want to service at service centre anymore. but pity la, people run from service centre due dont want to pay expensive, but they charge some parts is expensive than service centre. what logic is this.

and many kena slaughter without they even know. luckily I still service at service centre. at least I know, my pomen is certified, not pomen who get knowledge from tepi longkang.

Yea. After comparing prices between AR Man Auto with VMag and HSC, I'm very glad I didn't send my car to fix at AR Man. They even told me that belt tensioner need to change which quoted me RM500+ (not in quotation provided cause they said can do after fix the oil leak issue). VMag didn't mention anything about belt tensioner also and can actually find original Honda belt tensioner for less than RM200.
*
they qoute me almost everything undercarriage. qoutation price is close to rm5thousand. bahaha. wadepak. honda city repair 5 thousand. the things that really need to repair is lower arm only, but they qoute the entire suspension system.

Thats why I said, their pomen is cap ayam pomen, hired from tepi longkang. far away from service centre pomen.

expensive one things la, try to slaughter u is another things. 2 things wrong nia. I just read my review. those who give bad review, they will not reply, but those who give good review, they will reply.

So funny, some people can give good review, said price is affordable, price is good. I believe, it is fake review.

By the way, any recommendation on where to buy engine air filter from? I refused to let SC change the filter for me cause they mark up alot for it and since it's a simple replacement that I can do by myself.

It's for Honda City TMO.

Thanks in advance.
*
Can buy from shopee. hingan pudu name shinan enterprise sell for rm80ringgit. while kah motor charge rm90ringgit. just service my car at HSC, and they want to change my air filter. but, I just change into k&n. so they dont change the air filter.

but sometime regret buy k&n, need to reoil. a bit hassle.

I believe if u really cari, can find cheaper original too. got a lot of fake and oem, if price is too cheap, dont buy liao. I got see, a lot in shopee sell air filter for rm15ringgit. for, better think twice as air filter can be used for 30thousand kilometre.

Original air filter or air cleaner they name it, is rm112.53, indeed cut throat. lol. after discount is rm95.65, can still find way cheaper outside.

service is for 260thousand kilometre. tbh, tmo is almost problem free car as compare to my accord, 200thousand kilometre, one by one problem surface.
